After having successfully 3D printed an ITS Rodger's ballast hopper car, I needed something to pull it.  Therefore I am attempting to create a 3D printed model of the Illinois Traction System's freight motors #1063-1067.  The image below shows #1065 and then #1064.  These are both from the collection of Mr. Dale Jenkins.  

Hello,
Im building and HO scale micro/shelf layout.
The era is the 1974 and 1984 based in the Mid Atlantic are.MRail is a ficticious railroad who's name comes from the first letter of my name and my kids, we all start with an " M".
I grew up and lived most of my life in Rochester NH with the Boston and Maine and Guilford.So originaly I was going to model Rochester during that time period.The layout was a 33" x80 .I spent about 6 months building the first side and the associated buildings.

Not much had been happening to finish the 8th Subdivison's yard at Junction City.  I got some inspiration from a new kit and proceeded from there.

It's time to start controlling some turnouts on the railroad.  I was inspired by a panel that was created by Jas for his JL&T Railroad.  Details of that discussion can be found here.

On my layout, this area will be controlled by manual turnouts and I choose Blue Point machines to control these turnouts for their flexibility in placing the controls.

I needed a project and why not start on this small town rail served distributor for fertilizer.

I have never tried scratch building a complex structure and thought I would post my progress as a beginner over the next few months.

The plans are 1:1 scale and the model will be built in 1:48 scale. (It easier to let the software change the scale)

So let's see how it goes and if I finish it.

Just to prove to the nonbelievers, I do some sort of model railroading,  A new space has opened up.

Hi! :)

It´s time for that annual layout video update 2017, so here goes...

This ongoing project started at the beginning of 2013.

and was put on hiatus from March 2013

to December 2016.
